Jorg Colberg (*) writes more On Nostalgia (*):

the beauty of nostalgia (*):

It’s easy to admire something that was popular in the past (*), because you already know a priori you’re in good company.

In other words, you’re basically putting yourself into a company you admire.

On Photography and Nostalgia - Jorg Colberg (Tue 04 Mar 2014)

Untitled - Madrid (Sun 11 Aug 2013)
Jorg Colberg (*) writes Nostalgia (*):

Photography is the medium of nostalgia (*): any photograph by construction shows us the past (*).

This is a time of nostalgia: regardless of where you look, we have become backwards looking, rehashing what was there in all kinds of ways [..]

We can’t let go of the past because we can’t stand the present (*).

Is that what it is?
